I'm more at peace than ever with staying single. I don't think I was all that much of a catch in the first place, and I also don't have time nor interest for drama. I realized that it's great to suddenly decide to stay out for 2+ hours longer than intended and come home having to explain it to no one and not have to fuss over meal coordination or worry about quiet entry to avoid disturbing someone's sleep, etc. I can do whatever I want whenever I want and make weird plans with no judgment.

After the few failed relationships I've experienced in my life, this is absolutely worth the loss of physical touch. There is no comparison.
